EP-344 Why do people create Podcasts ?
This episode is after a while as I was traveling. Also switching from the other format. Formats get boring pretty fast I guess. This is more personal and will continue this way for sometime.

#199 The “Love My Work’ Week
There was a 2019 book by Marcus Buckingham ‘Nine Lies About Work’ that he had coauthored with Ashley Goodall.. I highly recommend you all to read it…. In fact the Episode 9 of the Penpositive Outclass Podcast was about that… The book again came to my mind recently as I started reading and writing about ‘The Great Resignation’ and the post pandemic work culture in general….

#198 The Great Resignation
Two days back as part of the Penpositive Journal on the Penpositive YouTube channel... I did a video on The Great Resignation... some personal thoughts... I did not have any intention of repeating the same thing here.. but it was interesting to note some comments that came on my Social media Channels and I thought there is more to this than just a video..

#161 Active Learning at Penpositive
Active Learning is a process I define as a very engaging intentional focussed form of learning which then would manifest in such a way that every act of consumption will result in some form of learning. In my opinion this becomes ever more important in current times when mindless content consumption can drain us all the beauty of life and that content fatigue becomes a never ending process.

#127 Our Relationship with work
The question is becoming even more relevant with time. May be it is because there is choice. In olden days the choice was non existent for a majority of people. The elite always had choices.

Will decide if I need to continue same frequency after that.
